Man! This is brilliant. Huge thanks for posting. Probably the most honest and frank I’ve ever seen an actor be, talking about his experiences. Magnificent actor. I saw Thief twice in close succession in the cinema recently. Phenomenal performance. Ditto for The Gambler.
A glorious moment of brilliance shines more than once here; but perhaps only the artists will get it. I hope they do. Acting is an art, filmmaking is an art, and those that are great at it, are not necessarily the "Stars" chosen by the fate of the business. "Matching Up" is probably the best example of creativity and exploitation of a moment in time. Dig it!
I'm disappointed he didn't mention Michael Mann as one of the best director's he has worked with. I like Coppolla, but he really hasn't done a significant film in a very long time.
It’s disappointing that young adults these days seem incapable of asking direct, articulate questions in a voice that can be heard by other older adults. Nearly every one of these budding actors and directors resort to Valley Talk. Caan isn’t perfect; he says “It’s like...” a number of times. But notice how he has to ask some of them, especially the girls, to speak louder and explain what they mean. I work for a newspaper, and I’ve noticed this trend during the past few years. I’m not young, but I’m not deaf either. Is it really too much to keep your voice up when you speak to me, or is it somehow politically incorrect?
Kinda agree with the valley talk. The nasally, whiny kardashian talk and dropping the last consonant of a word and the "ing" (as in BING) has become a "in". "CurTain" is now a nasally "cur -'in", etc.
Great stuff
Rip sir

Instinctive smart down to earth -- all the right stuff.
It's great, I love acting and I am a master big fan of his son, actor Scott Caan.

@46:04 only one person in the audience has seen THIEF? wtf?

Anyone here seen THIEF? Crickets = UGH!
I just did. His scene with Tuesday Weld in the diner is beautiful.
